It was a disappointing rookie season for Steelers OT Troy Fautanu, who dealt with a pair of knee injuries, including a season-ending dislocated kneecap, that limited him to just one game. The team’s first-round pick in 2024, Fautanu was expected to be an instant-impact starter on the offensive line, but the Steelers never really got a chance to see if he could be due to injuries. Entering 2025, the Steelers let Dan Moore Jr. walk in free agency and are slated to start Fautanu at right tackle.
Bleacher Report’s Brent Sobleski believes that Fautanu has a lot to prove in 2025, naming him one of last year’s rookies who has the most to prove.
